Vote!

It has been a contentious campaign season to say the least! I think that people on both sides deserve a sweet treat for surviving this election cycle!

A few months ago I found these party cookie cutters. I just knew that I had to have them for special election day cookies.

The elephant for the GOP- Republican Party:

And the Donkey for the Democratic Party:

I chose to decorate a couple of cookies with my interpretation of the two parties' color scheme in fondant. The remainder I simply used decorating sugar in the color that is associated with the party- Republican/Elephant/Red and Democrat/Donkey/Blue. I used the leftover dough to bake some little star cookies and sugared them with red and blue.

I have been "auditioning" sugar cookie recipes for awhile now. I think that I have found a favorite. I really like the way that the dough is rolled out before chilling and the little taste of almond in the cookie. The recipe can be found at sallysbakingaddiction.com. I hope that whichever way you vote you get to enjoy a sweet treat afterwards! Thanks for stopping by today! ~Cynthia
